Smokey Coffeeshop — Local services in Amsterdam

If I could give this place no stars I would.We just arrived in the location having just found our hotel. We all stopped at the ATM before arriving at the coffee shop. When we arrived the place looked quite nice and the staff seemed friendly. We were asked for ID and then found a table inside at which all 5 of us sat. Myself and a friend went up to the bar. My friend purchased and item to the value of 5 euro. She handed the bar man 50 euro which was the only note she had on her person having just been to the ATM. The bar man handed back 5 euro in change. My friend said sorry I gave you 50. His reply was quite frank and immediately shot her down and said no you didn't. We asked to speak to the manager. We were expecting to be met with some hospitality and some reassurance that they could try and resolve the situation as the bar was quiet and there were several cameras facing the till. This lady basically came down and was like you didn't give him 50. We tried to explain the situation and each time we spoke she cut us down and was like sorry your interrupting me and kept telling us we were rude. She walked away from us muttering. The lady with blond hair approached us calling herself a manager. I have never been spoken to by a manager in such a rude and uncaring way towards customers. She came back and her initial stament was "now are you going to listen to me". She spoke and then gave a pause. When she paused we replied. Again as soon as we spoke she cut us down again claiming that we wernt letting her speak and claiming we were rude. Her game here seemed to be: play pissed off with us and tell us we were in fact rude and wrong at every point. As soon as we mentioned the police she shouted and handed us back the 40 euro that was stollen from us and shouted at us telling us we had 10 seconds to leave. I stood up and then went to reply at which she then pushed me on my shoulder. This lady is vile. She calls herself a manager and I for one have no respect for this lady what so ever. Her short fuse, angry temper and complete disrespect for people is truly shocking. All that we wanted was cooperation on the matter that the man behind the bar stole 40 euro from us. If the owner is reading this I invite them to watch the camera at the 14th of May at 9.30 pm. We are a group of 5 people who sat across from the bar. When you do see that we were right I would hope you have words or even fire your crazy, inadequate,...

We had an awesome time here! We are Canadian, so we are HUGE potheads, wake and bake daily forever, but on our recent trip to Europe we had to be dankrupt for 2 weeks, so I had the longest t-break of my life before smoking weed again since Canada, at THIS “coffee shop”. I got SOOOOO high! I recommend the White Widow pre roll, “pure” if you want it to be only weed, which is what we did because the other options have tobacco in it, and we don’t smoke tobacco or cigarettes in our group. We’re just potheads. We circled around 3 joints among our group, the 3 of us were obliterated! Mind you, I took a 2 week break from weed because we were travelling other European cities before we got to Amsterdam, because we don’t trust street dealers. So my tolerance was all switched up, this stuff here hit the spot:) The prices are kind of a “lot” because my perspective is from a Canadian tourist, and at the stores in Canada weed is super cheap. Especially when you convert Euro to Canadian Dollar in your head. But this “coffee shop” was a very fun time, lovely dark ambience, super chill spot. Coffee was also nice, staff were friendly in a “European” way lol

Tldr: i got really stoned...

Visited this place two years ago and absolutely loved it. So naturally, I dragged my friends back expecting the same magic. Spoiler: the sparkle's long gone.

Things started off fine. We complied with the bag check, cap adjustment and all. No drama there. But then...we hit the prices. €11 for a single pre-roll? Are you infusing it with gold dust and unicorn tears? We picked up identical ones elsewhere for €4. But meh, nostalgia had me by the throat, so we still bought one and settled in.

My mate ordered a milkshake, which turned out to be a €7 glass of whipped cream cosplaying as a drink. Meanwhile, another friend took a pic of the neon sign (which, credit where due, is gorgeous). A staff member quickly swooped in to scold us: “Photos are fine, just don’t point the camera at people.” Errr, there were no people in the photo hun, unless ghosts count?

Tried to reason, got shut down. Whole vibe tanked. Hot, stuffy, overpriced, and nowhere near the warm buzz I remembered. Honestly? Save your cash and your camera roll; this place peaked in 2022. Still got the lighter from back then though. It works better than...
